| Syria Wants Immediate End to 'Barbaric' War on Iraq |
| 2003-03-22 |
| Syria, the only Arab non-permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, demanded on Saturday an immediate end to what it called the "barbaric aggression" against neighboring Iraq. "As it condemns this barbaric aggression to which our Iraqi brethren are being subjected... Syria calls for an immediate end to the war and the withdrawal of invading forces," an official statement carried by the state-run news agency said. The statement was issued by the country's ruling party and key allied parties after a meeting chaired by President Bashar al-Assad. Syria warned that the war would have "grave ramifications on the security of the region." Yeah. Like Syria being next on the list... "It (Syria) urges the United Nations to assume its role in addressing this dangerous situation," it said of the conflict which it called a "flagrant infringement" of international law. It praised the Iraqi people for their "heroic steadfastness" in the face of the U.S.-led forces. |

| #6 Assad has an extreme case of presbyopia. Maybe he should borrow Sammy's glasses and read the papers. |

| #5 "flagrant infringement" of international law here it is again. The war is illegal. The US therefore can not win. France and Russia will claim their contracts are still valid. |

| #4 Nice thing for baby Assad is that he was trained originally as an ophthalmologist. This means that after he gets tossed, he can go out into the countryside, find a nice small town, hang up his shingle and practice medicine. Get a wife, some kids, join the local soccer club and the PTA, and drive a Mercedes. Ah, the life of a doctor :-) |

| #2 Consider for a minute. Iraq has Iran on the east, Syria, Jordan on the west, Turkey to the north, and Saudi Arabia and Kuwait to the south. We have, or soon will have, most of four divisions and their support equipment on the ground in Iraq. We have another division, or at least large parts of it, on Iraq's eastern border with Afghanistan. The situation in the Middle East is GOING to change, regardless of what France, Russia, Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the Palestinians, or any other dumb B****** thinks. I haven't been terribly pleased with George Bush, but I'm beginning to change my mind, as this war continues to unfold. We may have seriously underestimated this Ivy-League playboy. |
